Waiting

Ryo felt his eyes widen when she asked him what spells he had used to fight against the wolves. He stammered for a moment not knowing what to say. As he had fought with the werewolf with his bare hands and he didn't even think of drawing his wand for a moment. He was a vampire after all and they didn't fight werewolves with wands most of the time. When they are in trouble, their natural instincts just kicked in and they fought with the wolves just like that. "I... I... I used... Um.." he couldn't even think if any spells that could sem convincing. So he decided to act like he had some sort of memory loss from that moment. "I... I don't remember." he said, covering his eyes with his hands. "Werewolves always attack people. Why can't they hunt something else?" he asked getting angry, and his eyes began to turn a deep shade if red as his hands just dropped from his face. "They are a horrible race that should be destroyed." The vampire's thoughts took over the boy's mind more and more.

Calista looked at him feeling his rising anger and put a hand on his shoulder, "They hunt people because they think it's a game. Not all of the werewolves are the same, i felt the same thing when they murdered my family when i was eight years old. They know my scent since i was in the house when they were killed, they have been tracking me since then. You have to stay strong Ryo, if you become angry you will do something that which my cost you your life or the lives of the ones whom you love." She said trying to calm him the best way she could, she knew all of this from experience.

The boy shook his head and looked up at the nurse, with his originally olive colored eyes that were now a blood red color. "I don't care if it costs me my life. It's not like I have a good one, my parents are dead, my sister hates me and the rest of my family doesn't care about me only about my sister." he growled baring his fangs a little bit from the anger he felt. He couldn't help it, the vampire inside him was getting restless and he couldn't continue to contain the vampire's feelings inside him while the boy's stupid, pety feelings were allowed to run wild. "And if they try to touch those who I care about, it will be the last thing they do, I can assure you of that." the vampire said, continuing to look at her with anger and hatred in his red colored eyes. The vampire then bit his lip feeling like he had said to much and he bit down on it hard. Soon he felt a warmth coming from his lip and he licked his lower lip, he had bit down on it a bit to hard and had caused himself to bleed.

Calista stood up and looked at the red eyes staring at his eyes taking in what he was. "Your a vampire...." She didn't know what to do, she didn't know he was a vampire and to be honest she was frightened. She held her ground and said, "That is why you will fail, there is so much hate inside you Ryo that it causes more harm than it does good. I pray that you figure that out before you end up hurting the wrong people." Tears were in her eyes as she said this looking at him hoping to get down to his human side to maybe bring that side back out.

The vampire smirked as the nurse realized that he in fact wasn't humano. That he was a vampire. "Took you long enough. I was pretty sure that you would have figure it out sooner, I mean come on. What human could possible face a werewolf and win, and not remember what spells he used to beat it?" tje vampire's comments just flowed out of the boy's mouth and he couldn't stop the thoughts of the vampire. After all he made a good point, no one would forget anything like that. "Well, I don't care if it does harm or good. I shouldn't care about anyone but myself, caring about others is a weakness, because then your enemies go after those people." the vampire spat. Of course the boy didn't think that way, but the vampire as always only saw the bad things of having people who you care about.

Calista looked at him and said, "That's what will kill you in the end, the fact that you do not care and that you think that caring about others is a weakness." She grabbed her kit then swiftly left the curtained area around his bed. She walked into the office putting her kit in the wardrobe, hoping that Ryo would come back out so that she could talk to him instead of his vampire half. Calista wrote to his head of house teacher letting them know that Ryo was fine and that he was resting right now. She let out a low whistle but it was loud enough to be heard from her owl as he came in resting on her desk. "Cieux, i need you to take this is the head of Hufflepuff house." She said as he took the letter from her. "Come back and i'll have a treat waiting for you." The owl took off through the window and went to deliver her message. Calista then began to think of what she was going to do with Ryo, hopefully he was sleeping but she doubted that very strongly.

The vampire's eyes turned an even deeper shade of red as he heard what she said. "Then let it kill me. I don't care." he hissed. The boy was getting fed up with only watching as the vampire let all his locked up emotions out. He got that the vampire part of him wanted to be around a lot more than the human part of him let it, and he got that the vampire felt hurt in some way. It didn't help that the vampire was stuck with a boy that didn't want to be what he was. But there was Nothing he could do about it, the boy was stubborn and he just hated being a vampire, having to drink blood so he didn't die and he didn't like having to hide from the sun, or having to be cold all the time. But the thing he hated the most was the reaction people gave him when they found out he was a vampire. No one understood that he didn't like being one, and they didn't understand the harm they did to him both physically and mentally when the ran from or tried to kill him.

He watched as the nurse left the area that was curtained and he burried his head in his hands. She had given him the same reaction most people gave him when they found out about him, and that was why he had basically snapped at her the way he did. The vampire had developed a defensive system for that reaction and it had been put to use again. Even though he was trying to he strong and not cry over that, all the damage from previous times that this happened came to his mind and he couldn't help it. His body began to shake and he felt tears sting his eyes and roll down his cheeks. Everyone thought of him as a monster, he hated that. Ryo's eyes went from a blood red to a dark shade of gray in a matter of seconds.

While he cried and kept his head burried in his hands, Ryo didn't even notice that classes were over and that Sarah was going to come back soon. Just then the veela girl came into the Hospital Wing and looked around. "Hello?" she called, and she headed for the Nurse's office figuring that Ryo was still asleep.

Calista heard a hello, standing up smoothing out her robes then headed out of the office towards her. "Yes." she said sweetly, as took a quick glance at the curtained bed. "Um just give me one moment please i have to check on a student." She walked over to the curtained area and disappeared inside. "Ryo..." Calista said as she walked over to him hoping that what she had said brought him back. She saw that he was crying and sat on the edge of the bed putting a single hand on his shoulder. "Ryo i need you to look at me please, I'm not afraid of you I've seen much worse than what you could have shown me. I said those things to get you back out and leave your vampire side hidden for a moment. I just want to talk to you, I only ask if you can forgive me for tricking you." Calista wondered if she could help him as much as she could.

Sarah smiled at the nurse and looked over as she walked toward the curtained area where Ryo was. "Oh, is he awake?" she asked hopefully. The girl knew that the nurse wanted to speak to Ryo alone and she knew that she shouldn't interupt that. She stood near the curtained area with her hands crossed behind her back. Sarah didn't know what they would talk about but knowing Ryo she would hear about it soon enough.

The boy didn't lift his head to look at the nurse when she came back in. When she placed her hand on his shoulder, he flinched and pulled away from her touch. "Don't touch me!" he screamed at her. His hurt feelings toward humans who reacted like they were scared of him broke out. He lifted his head and stared at her with a dull red color in his eyes, a mixture of his anger and sadness. "I don't believe you! You humans always lie before you try to kill me!!" the vampire cried, his tears rolling down his cheeks still. He pushed himself against the wall and he held his side as he did.
